Jewish refugee movie to be shot in Shanghai
SHANGHAI, March 25 (Xinhua) -- Schindler' s list producer（制作人） Branko Lustig visited the Jewish Refugees Museum in Shanghai on Friday, announcing his plan to produce a movie about Jewish refugees in Shanghai during the Second World WarWith an investment of 30 to 45 million U. S. Dollars, "The Melanie Violin", a joint 1 work of China and America, will be filmed by the end of this year.
The movie, which is an adaptation of a novel written by Chinese American writer He Ning, tells stories about a Jewish violinist who fled to Shanghai and fell in love with a Shanghainese woman.
Dubbed 2 as the Noah's Ark of the Orient, Shanghai sheltered more than 30,000 Jewish refugees during the Second World War, preventing their being slaughtered 3 by the Nazis 4.
Today, there are still some Jewish descendants living in Shanghai.
Being a survivor 5 from the Auschwitz concentration camp himself, Lustig is grateful to Shanghai.
"It's very difficult to be a survivor. I know the most," said Lustig, "In the concentration camp, the food was bad. Germans were killing 6 them (Jews), but here in Shanghai it was different. It was a life here."（本文由在线英语听力室整理编辑）
